THE KIT.KATS' NEW IDEAS.
Reproducing Poses from the Old Masters and
bringing Nature TO Town.

Reproducing Poses from the Old Masters and
bringing Nature 10 Town.
The Kit-Kat Club has introduced two new
ideas into the system of work for the coming
winter. By one idea the posing of miscel-
strike the Committee on Models is practically
abolished. As q substitute the members Of
the club now work from o model posed after
the most successful poses of the old masters.
S~teel-engraved copies of the old master
pieces are kept as works of reference In the
clubs library. When the principal points of
o picture are to be reproduced the model is
posed to resemble, as far as possible. one hg-
ure in the picture. When this figure 10 done
the pose is changed to some other picture.
In this way the members of the Kit-Kat Club
will in time become familiar with most of the
figures Of the best painters.
The other new idea is the introduction of
nature itself into the studio. During the
try, 80 they bring the country to town. The
Executive Committee is now busy setting up
in the club-rooms specimens of vines, leaves,
ferns and branches of trees. This week a
load Of pumpkins, cornstalks, apples and
other farm products will be received from
in the club-rooms will obviate TO- some ex-
tent the necessity of the artists going to the
park or to the country.
The season promises to be an interesting
ing good work, and are rapidly coming to
coming to public notice in their art. The
officers of the club are as follows President,

Roush Treasurer, Edward D. Connell.

O. J. Gibson, James Pagan, Us. Rowe, Jo-

She went and stood before q long mirror,
and turned hor head to the right and to the

BILE points of view. The full, rich color
which came into her cheeks made her grow
radiant.

coming afraid that she would never tire of
examining her features.

an examination as my skill would warrant.
In her extreme haste the enraged girl had
struck her weapon through bedclothes and
all, and i found, thank God, that Charlie
was yet breathing.
He opened his eyes after q little while and
stared wildly about the room. Then he tried
to take me by the sleeve.

There is q scheme on foot to start another
dramatic agency, under the management Of
the Actors Fund and with the cooperation
of leading managers, who will hire their
actors and actresses entirely through that
medium. Several Of the larger managers,
such as A. NJ. Palmer, Henry Il. Abbey and
Frohman and Randall, have been approached
respecting. this project. 1t is quite pos.
sible that during. the coming week
some definite plans of action will

cities Of the country, but their lists of stocks
are comparatively small, and the volume Of
their speculative dealings corr~espondingly
limited, as compared with those of the New
York Exchange.
Within the past few years the demand for
speculative trading facilities, not only in the
large cities, but in many of the smaller ones,
both in the United States and Canada, has
been met i'll a manner that enables the peo-
pie in these interior cities to trade in stocks
dealt in at the New York Stock Exchange,
and at New York figures. This is done by
the establishment of branch "bucket-shops"
in all these different cities, which are in pri-
vate telegrnphic communication with the
central Office in New York. whence they are
directly supplied with the New York quota
tions.
AS a rule these places are patronized much
more extensively than the regular Stock Ex-
changes, and as they are usually fitted up in
have n much more aristocratic air than the
ordinary bucket-shop. As O matter of fact,
they are not commonly known by this oppro-
brious title, but are held out AZ branch Of
fees of some New York stock brokerage firm,
az the customers of the firm. Their trans
actions are called contracts the same as II
they were dealing with o legitimate member
of the Stock Exchange here, and although no
stock il ever really bought OF sale or deliv-
cred on those contracts, which are merely in
the nature of registered lists, the same as In
IN ordinary bucket-shop, they are usually
run by people who have some capital back Of
them, and II Is regarded as comparatively
safe to trade with them so far rs the ability
to collect possible profits is concerned.
It requires considerable capital TO run q
system Of offices of this description, for some
of these firms or companies maintain as
many 40 a score of branches In different parts
Of the country. They are to be found in
almost all the cities in the interior of the
State, throughout New England and in
Canada, and 1t was only q day or two ago that
II was reported that two gorgeous palaces OF
this kind had just been opened in Montreal:
Except that it is not so common for the
%proprietors of these places to "lay down"
on their contracts, as in the case of an ordi-
nary snap bucket-shop, the methods Of deal
ing are almost identical. and are Just as
unfavorable for the Spectator.
There are several of these companies in
New York which maintain out-of-town
branches and they are in hot water nearly
all the time IN account Of the opposition
which they meet everywhere from the legal
authorities. Il frequently happens that when
a customer has been wiped out after putting
, up q big margin, he will take advantage OF
the law and sue the company for the amount
of his losses, pleading the Gambling Act, and
showing that there was no legal contract.
In addition to stock quotations these com.
panies usually furnish to their branch
offices the prices of wheat, corn. petroleum
and cotton, but the speculative dealings in
these commodities are not as extensive as In
the case Of stocks.

where Serg. Pickett sat to-day, as their

rail and clinched o pair of dirty hands above
them.

Sergt. Pickett started. Then he said (:

" amt go to school, cause I'm workin'.

and that crooked eye looked curiously about
the walls of the station. .

in an undertone. He lives up in my old
precinct, the Twentieth. His father pounds
hin. and abuses him shamefully," Then to
the boy; Take of your hat" ,
The big hat was removed displaying q head
which rounded up very large in the rear, but
had a sloping forehead and was very narrow
across the temples.

the Sergeant" again in an undertone.. He's
only eleven years old and he Is fitting for
State prison as fast as he can. Now, you go
along to your work, boy, and mind what I
tell you and you'll come out all right"
The lad moved away, and, as he mounted
the steps and slouched out into the Park,
displayed a pair Of mems trousers, the waist,
band coming up almost to his arm-pits and
the broad legs cut off at q point just below
the wearer's knees, leaving bare the lower half
of a pair of muddy legs. A pair Of army bro
gans on the big. boyish feet completed the
picture. The boy disappeared. The re-
porter turned to leave, too, with o sigh. He
caught the eye of q kind father who had Just
turned from a view of the same lad, and fan
cied he could see there a thought of q little
fellow at home whose lot was so different.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
meChanisms are devised to enable them to
do SO. But the more delicate chronome.
ter Is made, the more subject 1t becomes to
arrangement, and unless It be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses its usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of man-should require to
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver Is
the main spring Of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood by
a disordered liver, depend most of the ills
that flesh Is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung. scrofula), is traceable to the
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney dis
eases, sick diseases, sick headache, heart
disease, drOpsy, and long catalogue of
grave malades have their origin in a tor
pld or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, by establishing a
healthy, normal action Of the liver, acts as
a cure and preventive of these diseases.
